The objective of a Backgammon match is to move your checkers around the Backgammon board and pull them off the board quicker than your opposing player who works harder to do the same buthowever they move in the opposing direction. Winning a match in Backgammon requires both tactics and luck. Just how far you will be able to shift your chips is left to the numbers from tossing a pair of dice, and just how you shift your pieces are decided on by your overall playing techniques. Players use a number of techniques in the differing parts of a game dependent on your positions and opponent’s.
The Running Game Technique
The goal of the Running Game tactic is to lure all your chips into your home board and get them off as quick as you could. This strategy concentrates on the pace of advancing your checkers with no efforts to hit or barricade your competitor’s checkers. The ideal scenario to employ this tactic is when you think you can move your own chips quicker than the opposition does: when 1) you have a fewer chips on the board; 2) all your chips have moved beyond your opponent’s chips; or 3) the opponent does not use the hitting or blocking plan.
The Blocking Game Strategy
The primary goal of the blocking strategy, by its name, is to stop your competitor’s pieces, temporarily, not fretting about shifting your chips quickly. Once you’ve established the blockage for your opponent’s movement with a few chips, you can move your other pieces swiftly off the game board. You should also have a clear strategy when to back off and shift the pieces that you utilized for blocking. The game becomes interesting when your opposition uses the same blocking strategy.
